Laws of MagnetismMagnetic Properties of Matter
Electromagnetism
Laws of MagnetismState the properties of magnets.
Magnetism The ancient Chinese discovered the
magnetic property possessed by a certain type of natural iron ore called magnetite or lodestone in 2000 BC.
When suspend freely, this magnetic ore always points in a north-south direction.
The Chinese used this property to make a simple form of compass for navigational purposes.
Properties of Magnet A magnets;
Has a magnetic field around itHas two opposite poles which exert
forces on other magnetWill attract magnetic materials by
inducing magnetism in them.Will exert little or no force on a non-
magnetic material.
When a bar magnet is suspended freely in a paper stirrup, it always comes to rest in a north-south direction.
Its two points will always point in their respective fixed position, i.e. north pole pointed to the north and south pole pointed to the south.
Force Between Magnets If two magnets are brought close together,
they exert forces on each other. If the north (N pole) of a bar magnet is
brought near the N pole of another suspended magnet, the suspended magnet moves away.
Repulsion also occurs when two south poles (S poles) are brought near each other.
If the N pole is brought near a S pole, they are attracted to each other.
Law of Magnetism
Hence we can summarised the laws of magnetism:Like poles repel each other.Unlike poles attract each other.
Laws of MagnetismDescribe induced magnetism.
Induced Magnetism
Induced Magnetism is the magnetism of an object as a result of an external influence.
When a magnet is brought near an iron rod, the rod becomes an induced magnet with one end nearer the magnet having opposite polarity to that of the magnet.
Thus induction always precedes attraction.
Laws of MagnetismState the differences between magnetic, non-magnetic and magnetised materials.
Testing for Evidence of Magnetism
Only repulsion between a specimen and a magnet allows us to conclude that the specimen is a magnet.
Attraction between a specimen and a magnet only suggests that the specimen may be a magnetic material or a magnet.
Specimen One end of specimen
brought near the N pole
The other end of specimen brought near
to N poleBar magnet N pole is
repelled(or S pole is attracted)
S pole is attracted(or N pole is repelled)
Soft iron rod(magnetic material)
N pole is attracted
N pole is attracted
Wooden rod(non-magnetic material)
N pole remains stationary
N pole remains stationary
Laws of MagnetismDescribe electrical methods of magnetisation and demagnetisation.
Magnetisation and Demagnetisation Magnetisation by Stroking
Magnetisation Using Direct Current
Demagnetisation Using Alternating Current
Demagnetisation by Heating and Hammering
Laws of MagnetismDescribe the plotting of magnetic field lines with a compass.
Magnetic Fields The region around a magnet which
magnetic effect can be detected is called a magnetic field.
The pattern of a magnetic field can be plotted using a compass.
All magnetic lines of forces show the following properties;Outside the magnet, the lines start from
the N pole and end at the S pole. Within the magnet, the lines continue from the S pole to the N pole. The magnetic lines are actually closed loops.
The lines can never cross each other.The lines a closer to each other in a
stronger magnetic field. A uniform magnetic field is represented by straight parallel lines of force.
More Magnetic Field Patterns If two magnets are placed close to
each other, the field produced is the result of the combined effect of both of the magnets.
The point in a combined magnetic field where there is no magnetic effect is called a neutral point.
A compass needle placed at this point will not point to a specific direction.

Magnetic properties of Matter
State the differences between the properties of temporary magnets (e.g. iron) and permanent magnets (e.g. steel).
Magnetic Materials Hard magnetic materials such as
steel and alloys called Alcomax and Magnadur are difficult to magnetize but do not readily lose their magnetism.
Soft magnetic materials such as iron and Mumetal are relatively easy to magnetize, but their magnetism is only temporary.

Uses of Electromagnets
A relay
An electromagnetic switch operated by a relatively small electric current that can turn on or off a much larger electric current.
Speakers Inside a speaker, an
electromagnet is placed in front of a permanent magnet.
The permanent magnet is fixed firmly into position whereas the electromagnet is mobile.
As pulses of electricity pass through the coil of the electromagnet, the direction of its magnetic field is rapidly changed.
Doorbell It consists of an
electromagnet that triggers some kind of noise (a buzzer, bell, or chime).
When you press the button of a doorbell, you are completing the bell's circuit, activating the electromagnet.
Maglev Train Maglev (derived from
magnetic levitation) is a transport method that uses magnetic levitation to move vehicles without touching the ground.
With maglev, a vehicle travels along a guideway using magnets to create both lift and propulsion, thereby reducing friction and allowing higher speeds.
Scrap Metal Work The crane operator
lowers the electromagnet into a pile of scrap steel and then switches on the electricity.
This causes the steel disc to become a powerful magnet. Scrap steel is attracted to the disc.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging If an atomic nucleus is
exposed to a static magnetic field, it resonates when a varying electromagnetic field is applied at the proper frequency.
An Image is computed from the resonance signals of which the frequency and phase (timing) contain space information.
Magnetic properties of Matter
Explain the choice of material for, and use of, magnetic screening.
Magnetic Screening Magnetic screening is a method of redirecting
magnetic field lines so that magnetic flux flows through the walls of the shield itself.
Most steels are used as its work well for a redirecting shield.
The purpose is to prevent magnetic fields from interfering with electrical devices Magnetic resonance
imaging equipment that generate powerful magnetic flux.
Speaker magnets can distort a cathode ray tube (CRT) television picture.
Magnetic properties of Matter
Describe the use of magnetic materials in audio/video tapes.
Magnetic Storage Magnetic storage or magnetic
recording is the storage of data on a magnetised medium.
Magnetic storage media includes hard disks, magnetic recording tape, and magnetic stripes on credit cards.
Magnetic Tape The recording medium for the tape is typically
made by embedding tiny magnetic oxide particles in a plastic binder on a polyester film tape.
Tape heads are made from rings of ferromagnetic material with a gap where the tape contacts it so the magnetic field can fringe out to magnetize the emulsion on the tape.
A coil of wire around the ring carries the current to produce a magnetic field proportional to the signal to be recorded.
Electromagnetism
Describe the pattern of the magnetic field due to currents in straight wires and in solenoids and state the effect on the magnetic field of changing the magnitude and direction of the current.
Magnetic Field Around a Long Straight Wire
If an electric current is passed through a wire, a weak magnetic field is produced. The field has these features:The magnetic field
lines are circlesThe field is stronger
close to the wireIncreasing the
current increases the strength of the field

the wire using your right hand.
The thumb points in the direction of the current and the fingers curl in the direction of the magnetic field.
Electromagnetism 74
Electromagnetism 75
76Electromagnetism
Magnetic Field of a Flat Coil The magnetic field
due to a current in a flat coil is stronger in the region inside the coil.
The fields from each part of the wire are in the same direction and confined to a small area.
Electromagnetism 77
Magnetic Field of a Solenoid The magnetic field is
stronger in the region of the solenoid.
The field lines in this region are parallel to each other showing that the field has the same strength along most of the inner part of the solenoid.
Electromagnetism 78
If the current in the solenoid is reversed, then the poles will also be reversed.
The strength of the magnetic field produced by a solenoid can be increased byincreasing the magnitude of the current;increasing the number of turns of the
solenoid;inserting a soft iron core into the solenoid.
Electromagnetism 79
The right-hand grip rule can be used to remember the direction of the magnetic field.
Curl the fingers of the right hand in the direction of the current.
The thumb now points along the direction of the magnetic field. It points towards the end of the solenoid that behaves like a north pole.

circuit when the current exceeds a certain value.
Electromagnetism84
Electromagnetism85
Loudspeaker A loudspeaker produces sound by converting
electrical signals from an audio amplifier into mechanical motion.
The electromagnet is positioned in a constant magnetic field created by a permanent magnet.
As the alternating current constantly reverses the magnetic forces between the voice coil and the permanent magnet. This pushes the coil back and forth rapidly, like a piston.
When the coil moves, it pushes and pulls on the speaker cone.
This vibrates the air in front of the speaker, creating sound waves.
